Well, Sunday morning in Derry and it’s windy and wet. What’s new? Well before decent folk should be up on a Sunday morning, Rosie and Chris are up and they’ve got their bikes strapped on the bike carrier and packed in their provisions for the trip. Chris has brought about 100 bottles of water/energy drinks, so I think they’re expecting to get through some serious amount of calories over the next few days. They’re away off now to pick up Patrick and head on down to Cork for the start of their cycle tomorrow. Here’s hoping the wind will be behind them all the way…

Chris is going to be our little bird twittering away under the  mysterious alias ‘MudFlannagan‘. You will (hopefully) be able to follow his ‘tweets’ during the trip by clicking on the happy little bird top right of the webpage. The idea is that some us can join in the fun by sending tweets back using ‘@MudFlannagan’ from the Twitter website or from your mobile. If you – like me – have never used Twitter before (or seen the point in it) – check out this 5 minute video and all will be revealed.

By the looks of the weather, he just might have to change his twitterID to ‘MudDevlin’ by the end of the week!
